Umm... I wouldn't say it's clearly marked. It looks like there's a leaf under his right foot that he's about to step on. Other than that, I don't see anything even remotely close to his right foot. I'm not saying there's not a mini there. Maybe he's got a dark gray mini that is hidden by the shadow in the image, but in that picture it's not obvious.

By the time you get into the Pro division in tournaments you've had so many Am2s and Am1s give you crap about foot faults and marking your lie, you get pretty good at it. I've seen some pros with huge run ups plant perfectly at their mini too many times to believe that Doss didn't just set that disc aside. He's got a marker by his foot, it's just obscured by the pic.

When I get home, I'll post a picture of Cale Leviska from the Colorado State Championships with a wicked Foot Fault, no one called it, but I'm sure that's due to the fact it looked like a fast throw and I'm sure people were behind him it looked good.

As far as the Doss picture, that disc on the right is clearly a disc he threw prior, it's upside down, there is a mini right in front of his foot.

If it's even remotely debatable looking at a still picture imagine how difficult it would be seeing it live. Even if you were sure it was a foot fault I doubt you'd find a second. I just can't see calling foot faults on an open field run up unless it's a gross violation.

I agree. Personally I dont' call foot faults on open field run ups, unless like you said it's a gross violation.

Why is it you think High Sticking isn't enforced in Hockey? i've noticed few instances of a High Stick violation not being enforced. It isn't against the rules to raise your stick above the shoulders; only if contact is made with an opponent or the puck. It's not like Traveling in the NBA...

In the NHL that is one thing, but in NCAA and youth hockey the high stick is a joke. Everybody skates with their stick up, and since everybody has a facemask it really does not hurt anyone like it used to back in the day. So since people are not falling on the ice with bloody gashes in their faces, it goes uncalled. You can hear the "ting...ting...ting" of stick blades hitting facemasks throughout a game. Once it stops pissing you off, it becomes comical. The NHL officials are by far the worst major-league officials around, but they are so much better than the NCAA officials it...well, sometimes it makes me realize how fantastic a sport Ice Hockey is to be able to overcome the abysmal excuse for officiating that it has to endure.
